Loss of Communication/Network Connection Notification & Log

[MMediaman]

Ok my bad.

[Esteban]

The V2 camera needs to reconnect to wifi always. Currently on some occasions the camera cannot reconnect and defeats the purpose of having it.

There are also many reviewers in Amazon mentioning the same issue.

[Loki]

This is something that should be dealt with via a

Support Request

[tlkhorses]

I would really like to see a push notification that communication was lost with the Wyze Cam. If you are monitoring an area such as a puppy pen or motorhome, it could be crucial to know that suddenly that camera(s) are no longer connected!

Yep, a must have, voted.

[DocYoung]

Any chance of getting notifications when a senor goes offline for some reason?

[MMediaman]

Here’s how I solved the push notification issue

I’m not sure if it’s related to the newest ios app version, but ever since the app updated, my cameras seem to be going offline a lot. However, the Wyze app will still show my cameras that are all grouped as “on”. It’s only when I click on the camera group will I see that all my cameras are “offline”. We need a notification if these things go offline!

I work on another IOT platform of stuff from both cloud and IOT device side, offline notifications (with an offline threshold that is long like 5-10 minutes) or programmable time frame by the user. It is key for any self managed solution. Its one thing to self manage a set of IOT devices, but you can’t self manage by being in the app all the time, so the platform needs to notify users on self managed exceptions.

This needs to be across all devices, not just cameras.

[adamoldham]

A feature common across many, if not all, self service IoT platforms is notifications when things are offline. Offline can be battery dead, WiFi dead, out of range, or really anything. This is to provide the user a notification when this occurs so that the user can then go investigate further:

1. MVP - Notification for all devices when offline that can be toggled on/off. Offline would be 5 minutes of no communication (or whatever minimum threshold for heartbeat/status update)
2. Next phase allows the user to select the time period of offline for the notification (default 5 minutes, allow the user to program longer.

Without this, the user has to be constantly in the app to determine if everything is online or not in a truly self service management mode.

A heartbeat monitor from Wyze-> IFTTT is needed , & interested Wyze users could be provided with a mailing list so we are notified when the link is not working. As things are Wyze users are left wondering if it is a problem with their setup or the result of a api token reset (e.g. following the data leak)

IFTTT suddenly stopped working today

Does anyone know why my IFTTT applets suddenly stopped working? I deleted the wyze service and then readded it and remade all my applets with no luck. All of the applets are connected but will not run at all. I’ve confirmed it is a wyze problem because my applets using other services all still work. Thanks for any input

Isa there an issue with Wyzw linking to amazon and IFTTT?

Same issue. All (3) my IFTTT Camera Motion Notification stopped working yesterday evenings. Tried re-associating the Wyze IFTTT services but it did not solved the problem. Thanks

IFTTT No Longer Works?

Talked with Support: We went through a checklist of solutions: Remove the applet from IFTTT Unlink Wyze from IFTTT Log out from your Wyze app Log back into Wyze app Link Wyze to IFTTT again Create the applet again At this time this did not work, Support is working on it. I have sent pictures of the wyze app with triggers and IFTTT without triggers. Wyze app works fine. Somewhere in the communications between Wyze and IFTTT there seems to be a bug. Wyze is recognized on IFTTT but when tri…

[FIXED] IFTTT offline; oath.wyzecam.com is down

Yeah, it seems to be working now.

IFTTT triggers not turning on notifications

There have been some known issue with IFTTT not working properly, but I believe they were supposed to have been fixed lately. Searching #ask-the-community for “IFTTT” should find you the current status. Also, if you are using IFTTT to turn on individual camera notifications only, it’s possible your global notification switch got inadvertently turned off. If this is the case, you would not get any notifications even though each camera notification switch is ON. Here’s a review of notification se…

[tsimone90]

Has anyone thought about setting up a notification when the camera or bulbs has no power? Or does this exist in an upgraded version?

[rlathrop81]

There are quite a few other camera manufactures that do this, not sure why Wyze hasn’t implemented this yet

[quirkthekenku]

It defeats the entire purpose of this product if my wifi is down or there is a power outage, and I have no idea my Wyze cam is offline. Could the app “ping” the camera at set intervals to check it’s still connected to power/internet, and alert my phone if it isn’t? Thanks

[lachlan6]

Depending on what types of router or other smart devices you have you can use ifttt to tell you when they go offline. I have one set up on a particle.io device but I am sure other devices have the same types of events

[floaterr]

Sometimes the usb is removed, [MOD EDIT] kids… I’d love an alert for a removed camera

We’re using the Cam Pan as a baby monitor and would like an audible alarm when the app either loses connection to the camera or the image freezes (image stream drops to 0 KB/s). We know these issues are likely caused by our WiFi network but it would be good to be woken up when this happens with an audible alarm and have the option to enable or disable this alarm in the app. To be clear this would only alarm in the app and not on the camera. We don’t want to wake up the baby.

Thanks for your consideration.

[augustoviola]

I also need this

[BlackSheepTxRx]

Wyze needs offline notifications for all of their devices not just the camera. The batteries die in the door break and motion sensors all the time.

In fact it would be nice if certain events were logged. It would be nice to know if a cameras reboot was caused by a power outage and not part of a scheduled task. Another alarm/event if a cameras angle has moved.

Other logged events would be nice as well, if the camera has a SD Card inserted but isn’t writing to it.

In general it would be nice to know when things are not operating normally. As our Wyze ecosystem increases in size we expect things to just work. We cannot baby sit these devices to make sure the product is functional.

Please Wyze give us an automated way to perform health checks against our installs.

Hi,

I wish if Wyze Cam V2 could send notification when it is going to go offline and comes back online after a power outage, the duration for how long it was out and time and day.

Thanks,
Rashmi
